I would love to see all of twitter leave and have that be the major reason for the implosion of twitter, even musk could be possible, with all the notoriety. I'm not sure we're going to see it (there's actually a lot stacked against that IMO), but you never know. With sex harassment (assault?) stuff people in high places could start really taking aim at him; and if he harassed one staffer, isn't it possible to see him get canceled, if there was more of a coalition. Not saying he would fade into obscurity, but maybe a bunch of people won't deal with him.
I think that twitter will be able to pull in some talent. Now you don't want mediocre engineers, but tbh there's probably room in some area, for someone that's just technical and experienced.
Lots of people, possibly even myself would roll the dice on twitter. As much as it would suck, I think it has a real chance to slingshot me into a new industry (I do software, but there's a substantial percent of the market that's really off limits ATM). You never know man, it's a moonshot.
I think for me it would definitely unlock a bunch of new avenues. So what if it goes under, and I watch it fall? If Elon fires me is that really going to look so bad? There's probably plenty of talented people that are willing to take the risk.
Obviously, the biggest part is whether this new workforce will stack up... it certainly won't, but it might be able to keep things a float. Twitter was in such bad shape I wouldn't be surprised if it failed, even if the remaining 50% (10%?) were a solid crew of grizzled veterans, obsessed with his hardcore ways... even full crew, motivated might not be able to save twitter from becoming a much more popular (but still quite small) version of voat.
